Playing for 1 hour without winning

[Sunny]

To get the 5H card (my final one needed), how does the hour add up? In game time, which could conceivably stretch out over many hours, or officially one full hour? With no delay and constant gameplay? Thanks!

Hi Sunny,

It has to be one full hour of actual game play in which you do not play a winning game. So it does not include any time the device is powered off, or any time you are not playing the game.

Also, it can only be awarded at the end of a game, so if you take over an hour playing a game and then win, that counts as an hour spent winning, not losing.

Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi,

I've begun to have concern that something may have gone wrong with my installation. I'm using a Palm Centro (Verizon) and have earned every trophy other than "Perseverance", and for my attempt at this trophy I've logged about 80 minutes without a win and not been awarded the trophy. By that I mean game time. I've kept reasonably good track of how much total time has elapsed on the in-game timer since I began trying for the trophy, and the first hour was passed during a very long trip in which I just played Idiot's Delight over and over again until I had noted a total of about 65 minutes having been counted on the in-game timer. After that I switched to Calculation and lost for another 10 minutes or so with no trophy.

I'm reasonably sure that I had already exceeded a straight hour without a win back when I was first trying to win Calculation for that trophy.

I've put a lot of work into unlocking the trophy deck, and it's a bummer to get hung up on this one trophy. Can someone help?

Thanks,
Chris

Anyone? This is the only trophy I don't have. It still isn't awarding the trophy.

Update: STILL losing over and over again, still don't have this last trophy. After investing this much time to get the trophy deck, this is really annoying. I haven't enjoyed spending several consecutive hours losing just to get a card that isn't being awarded correctly. Ideas? Back door? Please?

to play safe, I play without even switching off my device and without even going to another application. I didn't have any problems. I'm using a Zodiac 2 btw.

I also had this problem, losing game after game of clock without a win. 80 of them in fact, with an average time of about 55 seconds, and it didn't work for me.

What I finally did was get up calculation, and make one move every minute, setting down the device when I got bored. This kept that game online the whole time. Once I was over an hour in playing time with that single game, I completed it, took the loss, and got my card.

It could be that when I abandoned a game because I knew I was going to win it caused the clock to get reset. I don't know. All I know is I probably could have kept it up to over 100 games and it would not have registered as an hour without a win.
